^aDilution with 50 wt% solvent for entries 1 and 3–17. EC is ethylene carbonate. DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide.

^bMonomer conversion obtained with ¹H NMR.

^cPMMA-calibrated THF-GPC values for entries 1, 3–5, 7, and 12–17 and PMMA-calibrated DMF-GPC values for entries 2, 6, and 8–11.

^d F _DMDL value determined by the ¹H NMR analysis of the purified polymer. In the parenthesis, F_DMDL value calculated from the monomer conversions of DMDL and co-monomer determined using ¹H NMR is given.

^eMonomer conversion of DMDL was unable to determine because the DMDL monomer peak overlapped with the co-monomer peak in the ¹H NMR spectrum.
